Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

High-acid cranberry juice controls harmful bacteria. # D4 Y* z: {. @5 e) a8 \- k

# O. n" W$ z  _4 g2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish.
& v& n, O7 e3 T7 G( M" M+ ]" H- ^- B+ M7 ?$ U
Many research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.

However, there's one thing that we should always keep in mind.   d9 @: b$ M) J/ `
, m9 l# `' n8 ^
A balance diet, and exercise regularly
- b% z8 O' |- Z( R% S3 l0 I; E! z. K: n6 z2 |
Even though some of the above are beneficial to your health, if you overdo it, they might actually harm you.
$ ~  k) l  q& p  k4 D" F' }% Z6 ]4 z0 {% Z
For example, vitamin E is good to you. But overdoing it might lead to Vitamin E poisoning. + F* h( D1 N; O) o2 o8 L1 q; p
( D! @& q3 |6 K" R7 c  p# B+ {0 P$ V
Therefore, eat a balance diet (eat everything in moderate), and exercise regularly. These are the most important factors for good health.& t7 n# k$ a9 c; j
